Faced with the chat content that was not suitable for people under eighteen, Ye Zhou sighed.

Once Liu Tian gets into a love-struck state, he becomes a true love-struck fool.

"If you keep fawning over people like this, you'll suffer the consequences," Ye Zhou said, speaking from experience.

"Oh, then what should we do?"

"First, you need to maintain a sense of distance and mystery, and your attitude should be ambiguous, making the other person feel insecure and know that you will also leave. Only then will she know how to cherish you."

Liu Tian's eyes widened in amazement. "A single conversation with you is worth more than ten years of study. Old Zhou, how do you know so much?"

Ye Zhou, of course, could not tell him what lessons learned through blood and tears these lessons were.

"Women are all the same."

"Is An Youhe like this too?"

“She is an angel,” Ye Zhou said earnestly.

"Okay, okay, your An Youhe is one of a kind."

...

The day before school starts.

Ye Zhou lay on the sofa and sent a message to An Youhe.

"What time will you arrive tomorrow?"

"I should be able to get to the station by 4:30 p.m.

"I'll arrive at eight in the morning. Call me when you arrive in the afternoon, and I'll meet you at the door."

"No need."

"That won't do. What if my little darling gets snatched away by someone with ulterior motives at the school gate?"

"Okay then, you'll be there at eight o'clock tomorrow, so you'll have to get up early, right?"

"I have to get up at four o'clock, my train is at five-thirty."

"Then you should go to sleep early, so you don't miss the time tomorrow."

Ye Zhou smiled slightly and said, "I understand."

Ye Fan quietly returned from outside, carrying a bag of cold dishes and a bag of peanuts.

"You're laughing so happily, did Xiao An send you a message?" Ye Fan teased, placing the things he was carrying on the dining table.

"Hurry up, son, while your mother's not around, let's have a good time, you two old men."

Ye Zhou rolled over and got up from the sofa.

Ye Fan crept over and opened the refrigerator, like a thief, and took out a precious bottle of Erguotou (a type of Chinese liquor) from the very back of the refrigerator.

"You're leaving tomorrow, and I secretly bought all this food with my own money. We have to drink to our hearts' content today."

Ye Zhou glanced at the remaining five-sixths of the Erguotou liquor and felt a little guilty.

Ye Fan took two disposable plastic cups with a sense of ceremony, poured himself a full cup, and was about to pour one for Ye Zhou.

Ye Zhou quickly said, "Dad, I'll just have a little. I'm afraid I'll miss my train tomorrow."

"Okay, then have a little drink, so you won't be late for school."

Ye Fan took a small, satisfied sip, smacking his lips.

Ye Zhou looked at his father guiltily.

Ye Fan frowned, then smiled with satisfaction after a moment. "It's been over a month since I last had it, but it still tastes the same! So satisfying!"

"Dad, next time I come back, I'll bring you a bottle of Moutai." Ye Zhou felt guilty.

"Forget it, such expensive wine, your mom will beat me half to death when I get back." Ye Fan's face was already slightly drunk.

"It's okay, just secretly put it in a bottle of Erguotou liquor later."

"As expected of my son, Ye Fan, you are resourceful and intelligent. If you really bring back Moutai for your father, we will be brothers from now on!" Ye Fan's eyes lit up as he kept putting food into Ye Zhou's bowl.

...

Ye Zhou was half asleep when his cell phone rang.

I answered the phone, and a sweet voice came from the other end.

"Are you up yet, Ye Zhou? We need to catch the train soon."

Ye Zhou glanced at the time on his phone; it was already 4:05.

The phone alarm went off, but he didn't hear it.

If An Youhe hadn't called, he would have been violently woken up by Zhou Ping.

"It's great to have a girlfriend; she even offers a wake-up service," Ye Zhou said with a smile.

"Quick, get up!"

"Call me 'baby' so I can hear it."

There was a pause of a few seconds on the other end, and then a soft voice came through the phone.

"Baby, darling, wake up!"

The girl's voice struck Ye Zhou's heart like an electric current.

"Okay, I'll get up right away." Ye Zhou couldn't help but chuckle, instantly feeling refreshed and wide awake.
